[AT] Headlight Reflectors and Tire Rims

[Paul Waugh]

Hi Ben
Not sure on reflectors. But on painting rims, I have found "POR-15" products 
to be very good.  If you clean up best you can and use the silver paint, it 
will be close. If not close enough in color, the silver will make up a good 
base coat for the color you want.  Applied correctly this stuff does a real 
good job. Google POR-15
